Writing Credibility Auditor

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward writing-audit skill that analyzes user-provided text and does not request tools, credentials, network access, persistence, or broad local data access.

This skill appears safe to install for credibility audits of writing. Users should understand that it is not a live fact-checker, does not verify current facts against sources, and works best on English-language text.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding

The instructions state 'I can audit this most reliably in English' and require user confirmation before proceeding in another detected language. This establishes English as the default operating language rather than offering a neutral language choice up front, which can be a locale/language policy concern.
